Organizations

Yes, I am very happy being alone with my computer. But, my wife has strongly suggested that I join some organizations that share my interests. Following her advice, I agreed to only join those that specifically invited me. Well, some did.

CofC ACM Student Chapter

This is commonly called "The Computer Club" at the College of Charleston. In the 2002-2003 school year, I served as President of the CofC ACM. Technically, I'm not a member anymore since I graduated, but I still list it since I served as President.

Association for Computing Machinery (ACM)

This is the big worldwide computer club. After placing high in my first two trips to the regional ACM Programming Competition, they sent me a letter asking if I would join.

Upsilon Pi Epsilon (UPE)

This is the International Honor Society for the Computing Sciences. Because of my high GPA, I was qualified to join. The professors at the College of Charleston asked me to join because they knew I wanted to be a professor and they felt it would be a good organization for that.

Golden Key National Honor Society

An organization for those with a GPA over 3.70 (or is it 3.75). Other than a resume, I don't really know what this organization is for.

Carolina Hedgehog Society

I'm not all academic. I like to spend time with hedgehogs. I feel that happiness is like a hedgehog, or more like a hedgehog peeing on you. Everyone can see it, but only you feel the warmth.
